Publisher's Summary

Rob Walker has served in countless operations in combat zones across the globe. Now, his mission is personal.

After returning home from a combat deployment to Afghanistan, US Army Special Forces sniper Rob Walker is in a race for time to rescue his kidnapped sister from the clutches of a Mexican drug cartel.

Having seen too much during a botched drug deal, she is snatched up off the street and handed over to members of a Mexican cartel who are after their payday. Suspecting her of being sold into sex slavery to satisfy the unpaid debt, Rob must act before it’s too late. But, taken deep into the Mexican criminal underworld, Marianne completely drops off the radar.

Heading South on a quest to find her, Rob teams up with his best friend and spotter. He decides to do the only thing he can do: Commit violence and punish everyone involved in his sister’s disappearance.

Rob’s mission: Save Marianne and send a clear message of brutality to her captors.

But once a cartel hitman picks up their trail, it becomes a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

Will they get to Marianne in time? Or, will she vanish forever into the global sex trade?

Good basic story but the authors inexperience was obvious.

Could have been a lot better. The storyline and main character were a good first attempt at this type of book. Hopefully the next one will be a bit more polished however I did enjoy it and would read another.
The reader was not up to the task and I am sure the book would have been better with a more accomplished person reading it.

truly average but narration horrible

the book was OK if not really believable. The narration on the other hand was woeful. No expression and added no value to the book. Wouldn't recommend even if it is free. Unfortunately I always have to finish a book but this is hours of my life I will never gt back.
